From the massive collection of signed cards acquired in-person by an autograph hound active in the 1980s and 1990s comes this exceedingly rare black felt-tip marker signature on a 3x5-inch off-white card, dating to about 1987. In very fine condition and ideal for matting with a favorite photograph. Tremendously talented child and juvenile actor River Phoenix died of a drug overdose at age 23 following a streak of hit movies like Explorers (1985), Stand by Me (1986), The Mosquito Coast (1986), A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), and Running on Empty (1988), for which he was Oscar-nominated.
